This pictures shows a negro newspaper boy selling "The Chicago Defender", a negro paper. This represents the Great Depression because it shows that segregation and poverty are still occurring and holding strong. The segregation was between the white people and the colored people;this put limits on where negroes could sit on the bus, go to the movies, or even go to the bathroom. This also shows that shows that families were in such a desperate need for money that they would send their children out to get jobs, such as becoming newspaper delivery boys and girls. These jobs pay the children only cents a day for their labor due to the depressing economy, barely enough to bring food home to their families. Poverty only worsened and by this photo, I believe that this boy's family is more well-off than others, due to the fact that he can afford to have a coat and hat to keep himself warm. The Great Depression was a very depressing time, both literally and economically.
